Lead singer from Imagine Dragons writes this to Bob Lefsetz after seeing the video of St. Paul and The Broken Bones from his hotel room in Chile. This really touched me, as its always a struggle for balance. Hes been on tour for 5 YEARS. Wow. He must be married to a super woman. Good on you, Dan. From: Dan Reynolds Subject: Re: St. Paul & The Broken Bones Wow. I love this. Im overseas right now in Chile missing my wife and 17 month old baby girl and have spent a good portion of my day wondering if I chose the right path (just one of those days). Ive hardly spent 2 full months with my wife and baby in the last 2 years while on the road touring for Imagine Dragons. My Ma continually told me not to be a musician because it was too risky and didnt lend well for a good family life (just read that Chris Martin is getting divorced yesterday, there goes another marriage). And its true, I struggle everyday to keep my lonely wife happy and my baby girl remembering my face. No sob story, just missing the joys of regular life. Days at the park with family, and nights with good friends. Ive been touring straight for 5 years now and have lost most contact with friends and neglected my family quite a bit. For what? For this. For the love of music. Im just jotting you a quick note to thank you for sharing this. Such passion for music like this reminds me why Im doing what I do. Its because it makes people happy. And truly, its magical. This man singing his guts and out and dancing fills me with joy on a dark depressing day in a hotel room by myself in Chile. I think Ill have a little more pep in my step tomorrow night on stage at The Lollapalooza Festival. I wish these guys were sharing the stage so I could let go and dance with that stud of a singer. Thanks for the continued advice and passion for music Bob. Dan Reynolds Singer of Imagine Dragons
